* EnsembleDarkhorse: Grumpy the t-rex and Big Alice the allosaurus are two of the most praised things about the movie, due to being more faithful recreations of characters from the show than any of the human characters, but with CGI that makes them look realistic and frightening. Grumpy's ItCanThink grudge against Rick is highly praised and [[spoiler:fans mourn how Big Alice dies in her first scene]].
